The book is a guide to narrative therapy. It summarizes more than twenty years of professional experience of the author, bringing together the ideas and techniques underlying his work. Cases from practice, detailed transcripts of different types of therapeutic conversations and comments on them are provided. M. White marks the course of conversations on special diagrams - “maps”, which allow you to track what is happening during the session and understand how it fits into the context of the life stories of those who seek help.

The book will be of interest to both , who are already familiar with the narrative approach, and those who would like to get an idea of this direction of therapeutic work. Michael White, a pioneer and guide, takes readers step by step to discover new paths to help people maintain hope in difficult situations and achieve a new understanding of life.
